• Sommario/riassunto: The aim of this book is to examine and provide insights into how water service providers apply resilience in practice. The growing threat of urban water shortages, gives more reason to understand how water resilience works in practice. This book will present a collection of case studies on how institutions apply resilience in practice, despite the multiple challenges they face. The emphasis of the book will be on learning from practitioners' experiences of building resilience strategies and approaches, and case studies represented would include all economic contexts - from low-income and fragile to upper income countries.
